Port of Mombasa’s http://www.gendawacargo.com/ vital role in the transport network of East Africa cannot be over emphasized. It serves a region of over 120 million people and handles transit cargo to South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania.
The vast majority of foodstuffs, raw materials, vehicles, iron, steel and petroleum products that are imported or exported in the region are handled through Mombasa port. Its throughput is growing by as much as 10 per cent each year, so extensive measures have been and are being taken to improve the capacity of the existing infrastructure as well as enhancing transport links to carry the cargo away from the port as quickly as possible.
Transit of cargo through Kenya
Some 30 per cent of cargo handled is transit cargo and this is expected to grow at an faster rate in the coming years as Kenya’s neighbours develop and improve their economic outlook. Over the five years to 2013, transit trade grew at an average rate of 7.1 per cent, with containers forming most of this growth. In 2013 the Port of Mombasa handled just over 6.6 million tonnes of transit cargo, up from 5 million tonnes in 2010.
The transit trade to South Sudan has been growing fast and in 2013 it became the second largest transit country after Uganda. Uganda accounts for about 70 per cent of the transit trade market share. This share is reducing, even though volumes are increasing, because of other growing economies in the region. In 2012 South Sudan had a 12 per cent share, followed by DRC at seven per cent and Rwanda at four per cent.
Kenya is attempting to reclaim much of the lost transit trade to Burundi, although its neighbour, Rwanda, is one of the fastest-growing transit destinations. To reflect this and to better serve its customers, the KPA opened a new liaison office in Kigali, Rwanda, in 2013. There is also a liaison office in Kampala and another office was opened in Bujumbura, Burundi on January 31, 2014.
The Rwanda office will act as a coordination point for the KPA’s activities in the country. Rwanda transit trade has been growing at a rate of nine per cent each year and in 2012 it accounted for 260,000 tonnes.
Transit trade is benefiting from two government measures to improve the flow of cargo from the Port of Mombasa: all cargo clearance activities by various government agencies will now be coordinated by the KPA; and all customs decisions will now be finalised in Mombasa rather than being referred to Nairobi.
Transport of cargo from Mombasa port to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan
Much of the transit trade is currently transported by road; but with construction under way of a new standard gauge railway linking Mombasa with Nairobi and Kampala – and eventually Rwanda and Burundi – transit times will improve significantly.
Closer integration between East African countries in the form of trade agreements and joint co-operation is also helping to strengthen economic links across the region. In recent years Kenya’s neighbours have shown a growing interest in the development of its transport infrastructure; and various leaders have attended opening or ground breaking ceremonies in order to show their support.
Reports indicate that the competitiveness of the region is improving. As transport corridors improve efficiency and bureaucracy is reduced, the costs come down.
Growth of KenyanEconomyKenya’s economy is vibrant as a result of widespread investment and development. It is predicted that in five to 10 years the region will be a very different place, with new wealth and a huge increase in trade. The Port of Lamu, under development, will handle a lot of this new trade, especially the predicted oil exports from Uganda and South Sudan. Oil drilling activities in Uganda are increasing and South Sudan needs a more reliable route for its oil exports. All of this will require huge volumes of project cargo. The project to build a new port at Lamu will attract the bulk of this trade, but not for many years until the transport corridor is completed.
However, peace in the region is a major determining factor in economic growth. If peace can be maintained, then most barriers to growth are removed. But the troubles in South Sudan in 2014 may have further implications not yet foreseen

Kenya has a warm and humid tropical climate on its Indian Ocean coastline. The climate is cooler in the savannah grasslands around the capital city, Nairobi, and especially closer to Mount Kenya, which has snow permanently on its peaks. Further inland, in the Nyanza region, there is a hot and dry climate which becomes humid around Lake Victoria, the largest tropical fresh-water lake in the world. This gives way to temperate and forested hilly areas in the neighboring western region. The north-eastern regions along the border with Somalia and Ethiopia are arid and semi-arid areas with near-desert landscapes. Kenya is known for its safaris, diverse climate and geography, and expansive wildlife reserves and national parks such as the East and West Tsavo National Park, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Aberdares National Park. Kenya has several world heritage sites such as Lamu and numerous beaches, including in Diani, Bamburi and Kilifi, where international yachting competitions are held every year.

Jonti Picking

His movies are known for repetitive melodies and surreal dialogue; The majority feature a catchy tune with silly lyrics, which is paired with a looping flash animation. He does most of the voices in his animations himself, and several feature himself in live action, including "Haricots Verts", "Chutney", "Boogie", "CAMRA", "Stockmarket", "We Are Mature", "Tangerine" the Weebl and Bob episodes "DJ" and "Safety", the fourth On The Moon episode, and "Jazzmas". He has also worked with other animators on YouTube, such as Edd Gould in the video "Nuts [Weebl]".

Picking is a trained sound engineer and artist, and has also worked on 3D visual effects for the movie Resident Evil. In 2003, he made several advertisements for Anchor Butter in the style of his Weebl and Bob animations, but featuring cows. These were broadcast in the UK. The television program Totally Viral on UKTV G2, consisting of video clips and cartoons from the internet, has an animated title sequence and links made by Jonti. Jonti set up his own production company called Sumo Dojo, which he has since left to set up Weebl's Stuff Limited, also known as Weebl Ltd. Picking married Sarah Darling (a radio presenter on the station Xfm) on 31 March 2007. On 23 December 2008, Picking announced his wife's pregnancy on the official Weebl's Stuff forums. On 13 July 2009, Picking's wife gave birth to a baby girl.

Kenya Ports Authority is an original investor in Kenya National Shipping Line, a state corporation of Kenya formed in 1989.

In 1989, the government of Kenya brought together the operation and regulation of existing ferry services, including the Likoni Ferry service at Likoni, Mombasa, into one subsidiary of the KPA, Kenya Ferry Services. The subsidiary was devolved to the status of an independent Kenya state corporation in 1998.

In August 2014, Kenya Ports Authority signed a deal worth $478m with China Communication Construction Company (CCCC) for the construction of three Lamu Port berths. The three new berths will form part of the $24bn Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) corridor and take its berth count to 29 upon completion.

Kilindini Harbour

Kilindini Harbour is a large, natural deep-water inlet extending inland from Mombasa, Kenya. It is 25-30 fathoms (45–55 meters) at its deepest center. It serves as the harbour for Mombasa, with a hinterland extending to Uganda and Sudan. Kilindini Harbour is the main part of the Port of Mombasa, the only international seaport in Kenya. It is managed by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). Apart from cargo handling, Mombasa is frequented by Cruise ships.

"Kilindini" is an old Swahili term that means "deep". The port is so called because the channel is naturally very deep. Kilindini Harbor is an example of a natural geographic phenomenon called a ria, formed millions of years ago when the sea level rose and engulfed a river that was flowing from the mainland.

History

Mombasa has a centuries old history as a harbour city. The Kilindini harbour was inaugurated in 1896 when work started on the construction of the Uganda Railway.

Kenya inaugurates new terminal at Mombasa port

Kenya has inaugurated the first part of a new container terminal at the coastal town of Mombasa.
The terminal which was opened over the weekend, is expected to boost cargo volumes handled by East Africa's largest port by 50%.
It can handle 550,000 twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs) per year and will ramp up Mombasa's existing annual cargo handling capacity from the current 1.05 million TEUs to 1.6 million TEUs.
"In five years’ time, we expect to have hit 2.5 million TEUs after completing …

The vast majority of foodstuffs, raw materials, vehicles, iron, steel and petroleum products that are imported or exported in the region are handled through Mombasa port. Its throughput is growing by as much as 10 per cent each year, so extensive measures have been and are being taken to improve the capacity of the existing infrastructure as well as enhancing transport links to carry the cargo away from the port as quickly as possible.
Transit of cargo through Kenya
Some 30 per cent of cargo handled is transit cargo and this is expected to grow at an faster rate in the coming years as Kenya’s neighbours develop and improve their economic outlook. Over the five years to 2013, transit trade grew at an average rate of 7.1 per cent, with containers forming most of this growth. In 2013 the Port of Mombasa handled just over 6.6 million tonnes of transit cargo, up from 5 million tonnes in 2010.
The transit trade to South Sudan has been growing fast and in 2013 it became the second largest transit country after Uganda. Uganda accounts for about 70 per cent of the transit trade market share. This share is reducing, even though volumes are increasing, because of other growing economies in the region. In 2012 South Sudan had a 12 per cent share, followed by DRC at seven per cent and Rwanda at four per cent.
Kenya is attempting to reclaim much of the lost transit trade to Burundi, although its neighbour, Rwanda, is one of the fastest-growing transit destinations. To reflect this and to better serve its customers, the KPA opened a new liaison office in Kigali, Rwanda, in 2013. There is also a liaison office in Kampala and another office was opened in Bujumbura, Burundi on January 31, 2014.
The Rwanda office will act as a coordination point for the KPA’s activities in the country. Rwanda transit trade has been growing at a rate of nine per cent each year and in 2012 it accounted for 260,000 tonnes.
Transit trade is benefiting from two government measures to improve the flow of cargo from the Port of Mombasa: all cargo clearance activities by various government agencies will now be coordinated by the KPA; and all customs decisions will now be finalised in Mombasa rather than being referred to Nairobi.
Transport of cargo from Mombasa port to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan
Much of the transit trade is currently transported by road; but with construction under way of a new standard gauge railway linking Mombasa with Nairobi and Kampala – and eventually Rwanda and Burundi – transit times will improve significantly.
Closer integration between East African countries in the form of trade agreements and joint co-operation is also helping to strengthen economic links across the region. In recent years Kenya’s neighbours have shown a growing interest in the development of its transport infrastructure; and various leaders have attended opening or ground breaking ceremonies in order to show their support.
Reports indicate that the competitiveness of the region is improving. As transport corridors improve efficiency and bureaucracy is reduced, the costs come down.
Growth of KenyanEconomyKenya’s economy is vibrant as a result of widespread investment and development. It is predicted that in five to 10 years the region will be a very different place, with new wealth and a huge increase in trade. The Port of Lamu, under development, will handle a lot of this new trade, especially the predicted oil exports from Uganda and South Sudan. Oil drilling activities in Uganda are increasing and South Sudan needs a more reliable route for its oil exports. All of this will require huge volumes of project cargo. The project to build a new port at Lamu will attract the bulk of this trade, but not for many years until the transport corridor is completed.
However, peace in the region is a major determining factor in economic growth. If peace can be maintained, then most barriers to growth are removed. But the troubles in South Sudan in 2014 may have further implications not yet foreseen

Kenya has a warm and humid tropical climate on its Indian Ocean coastline. The climate is cooler in the savannah grasslands around the capital city, Nairobi, and especially closer to Mount Kenya, which has snow permanently on its peaks. Further inland, in the Nyanza region, there is a hot and dry climate which becomes humid around Lake Victoria, the largest tropical fresh-water lake in the world. This gives way to temperate and forested hilly areas in the neighboring western region. The north-eastern regions along the border with Somalia and Ethiopia are arid and semi-arid areas with near-desert landscapes. Kenya is known for its safaris, diverse climate and geography, and expansive wildlife reserves and national parks such as the East and West Tsavo National Park, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Aberdares National Park. Kenya has several world heritage sites such as Lamu and numerous beaches, including in Diani, Bamburi and Kilifi, where international yachting competitions are held every year.
